Special Agent Chloe McMurray has been asked to do many things in the name of her job. Going undercover on a cruise ship leaving from her home port of Miami, however, is a new one. Not only that, but she’s tasked with posing as the wife of her federal counterpart, Special Agent Wesley Law.

Their investigation? A string of murders and suicides across three states that seem unrelated, until they uncover a deadly technological connection. Every victim was an expert in technology and had some connection to Milestones, a megacorporation with ties to many industries…including the cruise industry.

Chloe and Wesley must successfully go undercover as tech employees on the ship hosting the ten-year anniversary of the Milestones cruise company. A tough ask when the two have never met before. They’ll infiltrate the technology events, investigate their fellow passengers, and try to uncover what’s really going on.

However, danger is never far behind. Their killer can use tech to do the job without lifting a finger, and at sea, there’s no escape if their covers are blown.

Title:  A Cruise to Die For
Series:  Standalone
Author:  Heather Graham
Published:  April 7, 2026
Publisher:  MIRA/Harlequin 
My Rating:  3.5 stars

A Cruise to Die For is a standalone mystery/thriller by one of my favorite authors.  Unfortunately, Chloe and Wesley’s investigation into a tech company simply fell flat for me in several areas, which, frankly, is a huge disappointment given how dedicated I’ve been to this author over the years.  This book certainly will not stop my enjoyment of this author’s work, simply because this story was not for me.  The fact is that no two people read the same book, so what didn’t work for me might be exactly what you long for, and that’s okay.  I’m not going to nitpick the story; it simply wasn’t one I enjoyed.  This was a 3.5 read, which I’ll round up.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley, and I sincerely thank the author or publishing house for their trust. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*
